A good friend made the connection that these posts are equivalent to my progression of belly growth! I love taking maternity pics so this is a perfect fit for me hahaha!
I read through the three guides to filling out immigration documents today. Yup! THREE guides! And even after reading them I still have questions about a few areas - good thing I have an agency checking it all over. I hope that when all the forms are in front of me they make more sense. Six forms about us, three or four about our unknown child, and that's only the first two steps.
I have also looked into the Russian course I picked up for Mike and me. I completely forgot that the Russian alphabet is not comprised of the same characters as ours! It's more Greek based as opposed to Latin based and has even more characters. I can't even sound the words out! This will be fun/hard. Dad told me he knows one word and one phrase that he picked up from The Great Escape: 'no' and 'I love you.' Perfect! What else do you need to know for a little kid, right?
Jessa,
ReplyDeleteThis is an amazing, tremendous, frustrating, angering, costly, loving and above all rewarding life you are leaping into. I wish you and Mike the smoothest process as possible, and I am so glad you have chosen to share. I'm truly sorry you went through 2 years of unsuccessful trying for your own pregnancy, but your choice to turn your disappointment into a ray of hope for an orphan in need is a beautiful thing. You and Mike will be the most loving and most of all FUN parents in history! Take care and good luck,

If you had waited one month, I would have had the elves create the best Russian learning book for you. Oh well.
